Toshiba U3 USB Flash Drive 4Gb

Advantages: U3 support
Disadvantages: Intrusive programme everytime you plug it into a computer

...The Toshiba U3 flash drive provides a versatile way to store your memory. It comes in 4 sizes - 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb. It supports U3 and allows the user to install programmes on the USB drive, and then run it on the computer directly. --- the BASICS --- The Toshiba U3 flash drive is shaped as a normal USB drive - long and thin. It has a cap to cover the opening of the USB port. The cap is connected to the main part by a small string which comes with the drive. Other than that the drive has no other parts. The storage provided by the drive shows up as 3.79Gb. This is because 4Gb is actually 4,000,000 bytes. When divided by 1024 twice (into Kb and Mb) it is actually just 3.79Gb. Furthermore even more space is used up - this is illustrated by the fact that when the user plugs into the computer, it shows up as 2 drives - the removable...

Review of Toshiba USB flash drive - 4 GB

The Integral 4GB Memory Stick is good value

Advantages: Fast, good value, lightweight, large storage capacity, robust and convenient.
Disadvantages: Not as slimline as other models

...The integral 4GB memory stick provides a fast and reliable way of transferring and storing data. It is ideal for transferring large files such as software, media and music between computers. The design is robust so can withstand being dropped and also very lightweight and small so it is ideal for attaching to a keyring or similar. You simply plug the device into an available usb port on your computer which will detect it automatically. There is no requirements to upload any software in order to use this item. "Integral" are one of the few manufacturers who offer a large amount of storage (up to 8GB) at a very reasonable price and I cannot see any disadvantage in their items other than it is maybe not as slimline as other similar items. Overall a very good buy....

If only all Pens Drive like this

Advantages: Cheap, good storage, quick/read write speed and small enough for pockets
Disadvantages: U3 installed software can be tricky

...I like to use flash drives (aka pen drives) as they are quicker for data transfer from PC to PC, rather than using such things as CD/DVDs, which can be a little bulky these days. For that reason I do own several different flash drives of many brands and many storage sizes, one of which is the Sandisk Cruzer Micro with 4 GB of memory. ** TECHNICAL BITS? * Operating system required? Microsoft Windows XP/2000 (SP4), Vista and Mac X10.1.2 or later. * Windows ready * Device storage sizes vary * U3 software included. (see below) * Approximate size is 20mm wide, 57mm long and 8mm thickness * Approximate weight is 60 grams ** It?s read and write speed is fast enough to transfer data without pulling your hair out in frustration, reading at over 25 MB?s p/s and writing at about 15 MB?s p/s. ** The two colours I know it...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 4 GB

Sony NWZ-E436 4GB

Advantages: Easy to use, long battery life
Disadvantages: Small capacity

...The first I want to say about this product is how long the battery lasts. I was playing around with this thing for a whole 2 days without the battery even going down under half. I later realised that the battery life was up to 45hours which is pretty incredible, considering it is longer than the Ipod touch. So 4GB may not seem to much to a lot of people, but for those who don't have a HUGE music collection, but want just enough to be able to store a few hundred tracks, this mp3 player has an ideal capacity. There is no easy sync like on Ipod but many find it easier to drag and drop songs that they want onto the mp3 rather than the problem that occurs when and Ipod can randomly start syncing with the wrong music! This product is very thin and lightweight as well so you will hardly notice it in your pocket. It also supports...

Review of Sony NWZ-E436 4GB

Small, light flash drive

Advantages: Huge storage capacity, given it's size
Disadvantages: Can misplace it easily as its so small!!

...I bought this product from play.com for £17.99 which i think was a bargain. It's so small and light. Fantastic for transferring my coursework from home to uni and vice versa. Only problem is because it's so small, it gets lost at the bottom of my bag and i worry i've lost it totally! As for the memory size, 4GB is excellent! I bought it to back up some movies, pictures and songs from my computer, and it's great given its small physical size. I found that with my old USB memory stick, i kept misplacing the cap which inevitably damaged the memory stick. The great thing about this flash drive is that it doesn't have a cap, the USB bit is retractable instead! Installation was very straightforward and fast, practically all automatic. It's got a wierd U3 application that i'm just getting to grips with as i've never come across such...

Nano 4GB

Advantages: Tiny
Disadvantages: Scared it will snap!

...I bought my first Nano a week ago and have had to take it back to the shop to change it already. For some reason I had problems getting it to turn on sometimes but the shop exchanged it for me and the new one seems to be fine. To being with, it really is a small as the adverts make out, if not smaller. When I first saw it I was shocked! The 4GB can hold approx 1000 songs and can also store photos but this obviously takes up memory so the more photos you have, the fewer songs you can store. Apparently the first batch of Nano's had problems with the screen cracking and people have said to be careful of forgeting its in your pocket and sitting down. This didn't surprise me as it is so thin but I have sat on it a number of times! Once for 40 mins in a lecture and it has been fine! It does more than just store music and photos though...

Review of Apple iPod nano 4 GB

Fast, neat, reliable; everything you would need in a pen drive

Advantages: LED light for when in use, large memory, no cap
Disadvantages: looks a bit worn after a while, no cap could be disadvantage

...There seems to be an influx of reviews on ciao at the moment of netbooks, but also pen drives and I thought how difficult it must be to write a meaningful, in-depth review of something that most people possess, rely on but ultimately have the same problems ? its so bloody small that you undoubtedly going to misplace it or leave it in a computer somewhere. Then I thought, I have quite a good pen drive and use it as part of my job as a teacher like its part of me; it contains years worth of resources and materials that I simply cannot live without.

Review of Archos ARCDisk Hard Drive USB Key 4 GB

Kingston DT 4 GB

Advantages: Capacity,Price.
Disadvantages: Speed.

...The prices of USB Flash Drives is at record low. Now one can easily purchase a 4 GB drive less than £ 20. This is very good for the average users. These drives are in the affordability range of almost all users. This drive is very compact. Its dimensions are: Width: 66.9 mm Depth: 20.4 mm Height: 9 mm It is also very light, weighing only 11.3 grams, so, you won't even feel it when you are carrying it in your pocket. It support USB 2.0 as well. It is compatible with almost every operating system including Windows Vista. Although the capacity has increased and price decreased, the performance of these drives is not very impressive. it operates at only 1x speed, which is very slow. Copying a small file is not that much of a task, but when large sized files(e.g. Video files) are copied, it takes a lot...
